You could try to search for it. We have a working script here on the forum. On the first page!

Indeed, as Daste points out, i have readily produced a script which is capable of auto-switching raid profiles, fixing a bug blizzard could have fixed long ago.

This is the script:

local ARENA_PROFILE = "Arena";
local BG_PROFILE = "Battleground"
local PARTY_PROFILE = "Party"
local RAID_25_PROFILE = "Raid25";
local RAID_40_PROFILE = "Raid40";

function switchProfile()
if InCombatLockdown() == false then --This should fix in-combat issues.
isArena, _ = IsActiveBattlefieldArena();
if isArena == true then --**IN ARENA**.
if GetActiveRaidProfile() ~= ARENA_PROFILE then --if arena profile is not active
CompactUnitFrameProfiles_ActivateRaidProfile(ARENA_PROFILE); --...set arena profile.
print("Activated RaidProfile: "..ARENA_PROFILE)
end
elseif InActiveBattlefield() then --**IN BG**.
if GetActiveRaidProfile() ~= BG_PROFILE then --if battleground profile is not active
CompactUnitFrameProfiles_ActivateRaidProfile(BG_PROFILE); --...set battleground profile.
print("Activated RaidProfile: "..BG_PROFILE)
end
elseif GetNumGroupMembers(LE_PARTY_CATEGORY_INSTANCE) > 0 then --**IN INSTANCE GROUP**
if GetNumGroupMembers(LE_PARTY_CATEGORY_INSTANCE) > 25 then
if GetActiveRaidProfile() ~= RAID_40_PROFILE then -- if Raid40 profile is not active
CompactUnitFrameProfiles_ActivateRaidProfile(RAID_40_PROFILE); --...set raid40 profile.
print("Activated RaidProfile: "..RAID_40_PROFILE)
end
elseif GetNumGroupMembers(LE_PARTY_CATEGORY_INSTANCE) > 5 then
if GetActiveRaidProfile() ~= RAID_25_PROFILE then --if Raid25 profile is not active
CompactUnitFrameProfiles_ActivateRaidProfile(RAID_25_PROFILE); --...set raid25 profile.
print("Activated RaidProfile: "..RAID_25_PROFILE)
end
else
if GetActiveRaidProfile() ~= PARTY_PROFILE then --if Party profile is not active
CompactUnitFrameProfiles_ActivateRaidProfile(PARTY_PROFILE); --...set Party profile.
print("Activated RaidProfile: "..PARTY_PROFILE)
end
end
elseif GetNumGroupMembers(LE_PARTY_CATEGORY_HOME) > 0 then --**IN MANUAL GROUP**
if GetNumGroupMembers(LE_PARTY_CATEGORY_HOME) > 25 then
if GetActiveRaidProfile() ~= RAID_40_PROFILE then -- if Raid40 profile is not active
CompactUnitFrameProfiles_ActivateRaidProfile(RAID_40_PROFILE); --...set raid40 profile.
print("Activated RaidProfile: "..RAID_40_PROFILE)
end
elseif GetNumGroupMembers(LE_PARTY_CATEGORY_HOME) > 5 then
if GetActiveRaidProfile() ~= RAID_25_PROFILE then --if Raid25 profile is not active
CompactUnitFrameProfiles_ActivateRaidProfile(RAID_25_PROFILE); --...set raid25 profile.
print("Activated RaidProfile: "..RAID_25_PROFILE)
end
else
if GetActiveRaidProfile() ~= PARTY_PROFILE then --if Party profile is not active
CompactUnitFrameProfiles_ActivateRaidProfile(PARTY_PROFILE); --...set Party profile.
print("Activated RaidProfile: "..PARTY_PROFILE)
end
end
end
end
end

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE") --fires when player joins or leaves group
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED") --fires when leaving combat
f:SetScript("OnEvent",switchProfile);

Please note the five 'local' lines at the top. These correspond to your profile names. Change the names inside the " " to the correct names that you use. At current, all five profiles need to actually exist in order to prevent bugs. You can then use https ://addon.bool.no to turn the script into an addon.

for exact details on how this script works, see the original post: https://eu.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/17617202610#post-4

this is just a wonderfull fix... thank you :D Blizzard should fix it.. i mean.. they implemented it years ago..

Piriesko-stormreaver · March 31, 2018, 8:46pm

hello blizzard only 6 years since thread was started.

Khiandra-antonidas · November 15, 2018, 2:50pm

An awesome addon by you grimmj, THANKS a lot !. And Blizzard should be ashamed of the fact that this is still not fixed !

Anorell-aegwynn · November 19, 2020, 3:53pm

Addon doesnt work anymore - guess they changed some of the API implements. AND STILL automatic Profile switching by blizzard doesnt function properly.

“IsActiveBattiefieldArena” is no Command anymore - same goes for “IsActiveBattlefield” - i dont know what to check for now

Craimes-kazzak · December 23, 2020, 9:03am

Near 2021 and still not fixed.

Mágexd-dun-modr · January 21, 2021, 4:48pm

B U M P
Please, Blizzard. This is serious for us…

Steeljohnson-sylvanas · January 21, 2021, 5:37pm

Do you think we’ll make it to the 10 year anniversary of this bug?

Cleyra-defias-brotherhood · January 28, 2021, 6:42pm

I would gladly help reproduce the bug if they would show a just a glimmer of interest in fixing it

Aes-kazzak · January 30, 2021, 9:26am

Having the same issue. This is very annoying.

Triip-argent-dawn · February 7, 2021, 4:30am

There used to be an addon called ProfileSwitcher, which worked wonderfully alongside SortGroup and made it all so smooth and seamless. But for some reason ProfileSwitcher doesnt exist anymore, Im guessing because of some changes blizz made

Mágexd-dun-modr · February 18, 2021, 5:55am

Bump again.

Magiola-darksorrow · February 20, 2021, 7:00pm

Actually, yesterday it worked for me - surprisingly. I didn’t test it properly but it seems to be working, sort of.

Caigo-draenor · March 20, 2021, 11:51pm

Actually guys it works and it has always worked,on the top left corner you can see the “profiles” tab. I have two profiles. One is named “main” the other “raids”, main profile settings include - “auto activate on 2-3-5 player groups both in pvp and pve. Raid profile activates on 10 man groups and above. Again mark this for all specializations and both pvp pve if you want. When more than 5 people get invited , the position and size will change to your desired profile. For example- my main profile is for m+ and pvp , the frames are super big and close to the middle of my screen. Raid profile is at the default position on the smallest size. When you click the arrow near your default raid frames, you can select which profile you want to move where. If anyone is still interested or still needs help feel free to contact me. I hope this was helpful!

Deedz-ravencrest · June 14, 2021, 10:09pm

I have similar settings in TBC Classic. It used to work fine in Classic but now something is broken for me.

I have 2 profiles one for 5man (PvP and PvE) other for 10+ man also for PvP and PvE it is selected properly when it should activate yet it doesnt.

Always last used profile is active regardless if I join 5man group or big raid I have to switch it manually.

I’ve tried even full UI wipe but it didn’t help.

So 9 years later it seems to be still an issue.

Madrage-argent-dawn · December 3, 2021, 12:39pm

BUMP, still not working Shadowlands 9.1.5

anon43184044 · June 5, 2022, 8:58pm

Another bump still not fixed in 9.2.5

Aes-kazzak · August 20, 2022, 8:10pm

Hopefully Blizzard fixes this with the UI overhaul in DF because this is very annoying.
